Then if you look at T:B, it gets worse. Dude's never there for the huge responsibility he took on of running an entire company. He's never there for his pregnant wife, nor, from the look of things, later his wife and kid. He's never there to fix things in the world he created (and is very flip about the problems he does know about). The arcade's barely even mentioned but I'm sure he's never there either. Once his wife dies, he's still never there for Sam, just sticks Jordan's parents with the responsibility instead. The whole thing makes you want to shake the guy and tell him to get a fucking grip.

Between the two sources, Kevin Flynn comes across as a still-irresponsible drama queen who hasn't learned a whole hell of a lot during a thousand cycles of exile.

The only thing I want to know is how he did apparently fight and it only made Clu stronger. We've speculated on that many times here but I'm not sure how close we've gotten to a workable/plausible/believable solution. I think the best we came up with (and I don't even remember whose idea this was) was: "The more he resisted, the more Clu was able to paint him as bad."
